Still out of work so this is next up for sale.
I picked this wonderful bass up in the autumn last year. I love the weight (4.17kg or 9lb 3 oz) and feel of it, and the multiscale neck really evens out the tone and string tension.
It has a swamp ash body with a spalted maple top stained a grey colour. The through neck is 5 piece maple and panga panga (wenge relative), with a panga panga fingerboard. The scale length is 34" to 36".
I have made the following changes, which have made an already very good bass even better:
i) rounded the edges of the nut so they are smooth
ii) replaced all the screws in the bridge units
iii) removed preamp and pickups and fully shielded the cavities, adding a new earth strip under the bridge
iv) installed threaded inserts in the pickup and control cavities, using new threaded bolts throughout
v) fitted US Bartolini HR-5.4AP/918 3 band preamp (volume has push/pull active/passive)
vi) fitted US Bartolini MK6CBC pickups, using six string version to ensure pickup sensing area was wide enough
vii) new black Dunlop straplocks and new black knobs
viii) customised chrome/black Hipshot tuners to give a Wal-like style
Bass comes with the very nice original hard case. I am firm on £900 shipped in the UK.
